2004 MDA Awards of Excellence
There were more than three dozen entries for the 2004 annual Morgan Dressage Association Awards of Excellence program, with submissions from training through Intermediare l. Awards were given to registered Morgans who achieved the highest averages from two scores at each level in United States Dressage Federation recognized competitions during the competition year (Nov. 1 through Oct. 31). At least one of the scores submitted must have been from the highest test of the level and at least one must have been from an Open Competition. The top horse in each level in three categories (Open, Adult Amateur and Junior/Young Rider) received a special award. The top five scores in each level in the Open and Jr/YR categories received a certificate. Congratulations to all of the winners!
